Not a single person!

The reason Shao He was dumbfounded was that after arriving here, he found there wasn't a single person here!

They ran away!

They actually ran away!

Thinking this, a hundred thousand grass mud horses galloped wildly through Shao He's mind...

He hadn't expected that the four people who had spoken so righteously before him would just run away.

Unacceptable!

Shao He couldn't accept it.

After raking his hands through his hair, Shao He looked into the distance, shouting crazily, "You... you all wait for me, from now on, my Shao Family and your Xie Family are irreconcilable!"

Previously, the person Shao He hated the most was the Bai Family and Hu Xiaobei...

Especially Hu Xiaobei, because he had ruined Shao He's good fortune...

But now, the people he hated the most were these few from the Xie Family because they had run away, essentially putting him on the spot to be roasted over the fire...

"Ran away?"

Hearing Shao He's hysterical shouts, the defecting Bai Family elders and the young people from the Shao Family were thoroughly panicked...

Really!

They felt as if the sky had collapsed...

Unlike them, everyone from the Bai Family was extremely happy because they knew that victory was now assured...

...

In the distance...

The four people who had run more than a hundred meters away heard Shao He's bitterly resentful low growl!

They knew Shao He must absolutely detest them now...

But they didn't really care.

They were clear that even before this, they were already in a do-or-die situation with the Shao Family...

So, adding a bit more hatred now was really no big deal!

"Big brother, actually, there was no need for us to just run off earlier. If the four of us really fought with all we had, we might have had a chance to win."

"Yeah, big brother! We really could have fought them just now."

"Right! Running away like this is just too shameful."

Thinking about themselves, proud Array Masters, being scared into fleeing by a young man, they couldn't accept it...

So they couldn't help but start to grumble...

Hearing their cold complaints, the one they called big brother furrowed his brows fiercely...

Quickly, he turned his head and chided them coldly, "Are these words even meaningful now? Before, the four of us ganging up on one person was already shameless! Now, you've been scared into running away, and you're still here trying to act tough? What? Addicted to looking cool?"

Chastened by this reprimand, they were mortified!

They soon stubbornly spoke again!

"Big brother, I... we weren't trying to act tough? I... we genuinely thought we had a chance if we fought with all our might!"

"Yeah, big brother, we really could have had a chance!"

"Right, right, I think the same."

Hearing that these three were still stubborn, he said coldly, "A chance? You think you stood a ghost of a chance, are you all blind? That young man was obviously more than twice as strong as us, and to say the least, we were simply not in the same league! Continuing to fight would have just made us look even worse!"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Now, the most important thing for us is to go back and inform our seniors at home about this powerful person helping the Bai Family, and ask what we should do next! Personally, I think the best way is to kill him; otherwise, in the future, he will definitely become a thorn in our side!"

Previously, he thought the biggest rival in the future was the Shao Family!

Because the Shao Family's strength was terrifying...

Now, after encountering Hu Xiaobei, he felt that Hu Xiaobei was the real future threat, so something had to be done to kill him.

Hearing their boss hold Hu Xiaobei in such high regard, the three of them furrowed their brows lightly.

"Elder Brother, paying such close attention to this young man named Hu Xiaobei, isn't that a bit too much?"

"Exactly, we admit that Hu Xiaobei does have a little bit of strength, but is it necessary to treat him with such formality?"

"Yes! No matter how strong he is, can he be better than the real array experts in our family? Those people are absolute Array Masters!"

Although they had witnessed Hu Xiaobei's strength before, they still didn't take him seriously...

In their eyes, Hu Xiaobei was simply no match for the top Array Masters in the family.

Those Array Masters in the family were already very formidable individuals.

For the past five years, they had been wholeheartedly cultivating to enhance their strength.

Thus, Hu Xiaobei had no right to be mentioned in the same breath as them!

With a mere flick of their fingers, they could easily snuff out Hu Xiaobei's life completely.

...

Hearing the three of them speak so disdainfully, the man frowned deeply, and soon he spoke coldly, "Do you think that the strength he just displayed was all he had?"

"Of course, it is! He's just a young man; how could he possibly be any stronger?"

"Yeah!"

"Is it really so?" When the time came, I observed closely, and he seemed completely unfazed from beginning to end! This indicates that he definitely hasn't used his full strength just now, so continuing to fight with him would surely be suicidal."

"Is that so?"

Feeling their disbelief, he furrowed his brow and said, "Actually, at one point I even suspected that he might have reached the Grandmaster level, becoming an Array Grandmaster!"

Hearing this, they were alarmed!

They quickly shook their heads!

"Array Grandmaster? How could that be possible! Our family is so powerful in Array study, and yet we only have two Grandmasters. He's so young, how could he possibly be an Array Grandmaster? That's just laughable!"

They didn't believe it!

Not one bit!

In their view, it was definitely impossible!

If Hu Xiaobei were an Array Grandmaster at his young age, then the title of Array Grandmaster would be far too cheap!

An Array Grandmaster is someone with absolute understanding of arrays...

Not only must they be able to break arrays, but more importantly, they should be able to alter and influence arrays, and even directly create arrays!

Generally speaking, it would take decades of study starting from a young age for someone to reach the threshold of becoming an Array Grandmaster, and very few could actually cross that threshold!

Because becoming an Array Grandmaster was just too difficult!

Simply put, it required a combination of the perfect time, place, and people to ultimately succeed.

Hearing their skepticism, he frowned and said, "Alright, it's just a guess, whether it's correct or not, I don't know! The most important thing now is that we hurry back and inform the family about Hu Xiaobei's situation! Even if he isn't an Array Grandmaster, his attainment in arrays is very strong; letting the family prepare in advance can't do any harm!"

"That... that's true!"

"Since you all think so, then let's not waste any more words and make haste!"

With that, the four men quickly left...

At this moment, they did not feel any shame about their hasty retreat, for such sudden escapes were all too common for them.

...

In the forest, after shouting over ten times, Shao He came back to his senses!

He knew that he was really being put through the wringer.

Taking a deep breath, he bellowed furiously, "You better pray you never cross paths with me again, otherwise, I swear I will utterly kill you."

After cursing fiercely, Shao He turned to Hu Xiaobei with a smile plastered across his face!

Soon, Hu Xiaobei spoke, "That... just now was clearly a misunderstanding…. How about we let bygones be bygones, you… what do you think?"

Despite not wanting to show weakness, he knew he had to!

Because now his help was gone, and he himself could not break the array, let alone deal with the Bai Family.

The Bai Family elders who had betrayed Bai Xuening heard Shao He's submissive words and their faces turned extremely unsightly...
